Ready I was to take on the world, chase all my dreams wherever they go, but they don’t tell you when you’re a child, they don’t , tell you these things just “aren’t” & “you won’t”... Time it comes runnin’ at your heels in the dark, chasin’ your memory like a dog with no bark, memories of mowing lawns & pink masquerades, ruby red slippers & a song that’s the same… I said “Don’t tell me my troubles aren’t real!” Yours are no lesser, I just am how I feel. I can’t go runnin my mouth up your name, our blues are all comin’ & they all look the same… If we hadn’t two eyes to see in the day, if we hadn’t ears or anything to say, we’d all go livin’ our own different lives, I’d keep on prayin’ to that constant Big Sky... ‘Cause trouble comes knockin’ & blues come your way & they all sound like thunder & they all look the same They just don’t tell you & they should, it’s a shame! Our blues are all comin’ & they all look the same…

Oh! How the Rain Falls Faster Now! How the Days Roll on like Clouds! And I Sit Waiting for the Sun to Fall from the Sky… And You! Sit Waiting for that “Right Time” to Tell Yourself that You’re Doin’ Just Fine. And I sit Waiting for the Sun to Fall from the Sky... You’re Not Wrong! You’re Not Wrong! To Be Out and Down Before You’re Done! You’re Not Wrong! You’re Not Wrong! No, It’s Just the Times You’re Fallin’ On! And This Ain’t a Problem that You Can Solve in Your Head! And There’s So Much You Say When Those Words Aren’t Said! And the Days Float On, Far Away, Far Away! And this Song Started Singin’ Before You Went Away! And Your Eyes are the Blue of the Sky, So I Walk with my Head High! You’re Not Wrong! You’re Not Wrong! To Be Out and Down Before You’re Done! You’re Not Wrong! You’re Not Wrong! No, It’s Just the Times You're Fallin’ On!

Butterflies 04:00
Sunrise On Your Cocoon It Paints Your Eyes Baby Blue Butterflies Fill the Room Your Black Plastic Waiting Room So I Waved “Goodbye” But It Felt “Too Soon” Oh, Maybe I Have Gone Blind Too . . . I’ll Fly Away Too Just Tell Me Where To Go & I’ll Find You

just like a walk in the park we can go on and on we’re afraid to admit that this day we’ve got nothin’ goin’ on… you could pull over the car and we could just move on we’re afraid to admit that this road is so long... and you know what I mean when I say anything I’m so surprised you still wanna walk with me...

Metal Bird 04:50
Get On Out! Now that your Mother’s shown you how... You’ve been a victim of a random act of God... Get On Out! Now that your Father’s shown you why... You’ve been damaged by the circus you just saw… Run Away! Now that You said “It’s o.k.”... It’s a battle moving up, like your plane in Vietnam… Get On Out! Now that your Brother’s shown you how... It’s a dagger moving close, like the chorus of your song...

You scream underwater & you wake without the air. Well, what does it even matter anymore to me? I’m just opening up my eyes and believing what I see. My Dear is dead! Oh dear, he’s dead. Or is he fast asleep? Part of a cryogenic history... Flew away like the birds do, I watched you rage the dying light. An angel was standing in our doorway, & it whispered to me, “He’s alive!” My Dear is dead! Oh dear, he’s dead. Or is he only asleep? One more dreamer stuck inside a dream… One more dreamer stuck inside a dream...

It would help me out so much if you slept on my couch tonight and we can wash your jacket in the laundry in the mornin’ so your mother doesn’t find out that you were... It would help me out so much if you slept on my couch tonight and we can wash your jacket in the laundry in the mornin’ so your mother doesn’t find you that you were Comin’ over (that you were) Spendin’ time (that you were) Stayin’ in trouble (got a) Woman on Your Mind Oh, it’s such a shame, this fairy tale! Could you pass me one more coffin nail? Did I say how much you help me out? Did I say that the smoke will come right out? And we could close the blinds as tight as you like ‘em, but the neighbors already know that you were Comin’ over (that you were) Spendin’ time (that you were) Stayin’ in trouble (got a) Woman on Your Mind (got a) Woman on Your Mind Comin’ over (that you were) Spendin’ time (that you were) Stayin’ in trouble (got a) Woman on Your Mind (got a) Woman on Your Mind (got a) Woman on Your Mind (got a) on Your Mind (got a) Woman on Your Mind

La Ronde 03:30
Over Again Over & Over Again Over Again Around the Bend Over the Hills Again & Again Just Friends Just Fakin’ a Smile ‘Til it Ends I’ve Fallen in Love But You’re Tying My Hands Is It Just Because You Can Go Over & Over Again? Just A Stranger You Need In Bed In Your Head In Your Head In Your Head Love is Just Conviction I Wanna Make a Convict Out of You If Love is Just Conviction, Tell Me How Convicted Are You?

Prisoner 04:10
HERE YOU ARE THERE YOU GO FLY AWAY LIKE A PRISONER IN A DAYDREAM ABOUT TIMES AGO WELL I’M GRATEFUL FOR THE DEAD AND I’M SEEIN’ ALL THESE THINGS IN MY HEAD AND OUR RUINS MADE OF TIME BUILD OUR CASTLES IN THE SKY

and it’s all what it’s cracked up to be and it ain’t nothin’ like whatcha been watchin’ on the movie screen and it ain’t free and ya ain’t gonna find it on late night T.V. and it ain’t sirens, guns, it ain’t police and it ain’t the most elaborate scheme but it ain’t like sunday ice cream it’s not a word that i’ve ever heard it’s My Only Dream it’s My Only Dream it’s My Only Dream it’s My Only Dream and it ain’t somethin’ you can take and it ain’t built to break like your machines and it ain’t you, no, it ain’t you ‘cause it ain’t even me and I think there’s places we can go where it’s the most valuable of currency and it’s not a word that i’ve ever heard it’s My Only Dream it’s My Only Dream it’s My Only Dream it’s My Only Dream And it’s Everything
